Beltaine 2019
May 4th, 4 PM [Star Wars Day]
1081 Willis Branch Road, Richmond, KY 40475 [Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Madison County]
All are welcome to join us!
Ritual, celebration, and potluck!
Please join us for our Beltaine celebration. There will be a Star Wars themed ritual [May the 4th be with you] just for fun, Maypole dance with guitar and drums, fires to dance around, and paper plane activities. We encourage guests to bring flow toys such as poi and hoops to dance with and also flashlights for a safe fire worm.
NMC participants are encouraged to bring some wood for our small fires. Potluck will be light, summer fair. Please bring dish, side, beverage, dessert, or snack to share. Dress casually or as your favorite Star Wars character. We will also be celebrating a special birthday!
Beltaine honours Life. It represents the peak of Spring and the beginning of Summer. Earth energies are at their strongest and most active. Beltaine is a Fire Festival. The word 'Beltaine' originates from the Celtic God 'Bel', meaning 'the bright one' and the Gaelic word 'teine' meaning fire. Together they make 'Bright Fire', or 'Goodly Fire' and traditionally bonfires were lit to honour the Sun and encourage the Sun's light to nurture the emerging future harvest and protect the community.
